Photo Hunters: Tulips Galore

Published by at 9:40 am under Photo Hunter,Photography

I finally made it out to the 2008 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival two weekends ago. This festival is held in April every year. Usually by the end of April, the blooms are all gone but the bizarre cold weather this year has really affected the tulips. Even though we were there at the end of April, some tulip didn’t bloom, some just started blooming while others are already at full bloom. The tulips were gorgeous but it probably would have been better if everyone of them were in full bloom. Hope you enjoy the photos.
